 * Hi everyone, newbie here. I am already a WordPress user, (I also purchased my
   domain there) but the thing is I want to further my blog into a full website.
   In order for me to do that and enable custom templates and certain html codes
   I would have to get a host. Well, I went to GoDaddy.com for hosting. For starters
   I purchased the Economy Linux plan and I’m kinda stuck. I have followed all the
   instructions on how to set up a SQL, edit/configure the text, etc. Somehow when
   I tried to go on “www.mywebsite.com/wp-admin/install.php it didnt work. It’s 
   showing a 404 error. I don’t know if being a Mac user has anything to do with
   it? (maybe i have to download additional software or something?)
 * Since that didn’t work out right. I decided to deleted everything and start from
   scratch as if I newly signed up for hosting on GoDaddy.com. The first time I 
   attempted, I noticed that I installed the WordPress app inside the GoDaddy.com
   website. Should have I done that, considering that I already have a blog on WordPress
   already?
 * P.S. if anyone out there can help, thank you :). This have been day 2 and I have
   read a bunch of other forum post, video tutorials, codex, everything! i dont 
   know where I’m going wrong 🙁

 * you will want to first of all get your domain working on Godaddy (their one click
   install or whatever, should do everything for you?)
 * then after that you can import your content from your blog at WordPress.com
